Given events in the past 24 hours, it might have been helpful for the United States to be able to speak to Iranians in Farsi, their official language. But the incompetent children at Doge dismantled Voice of America, cutting off that communication and ultimately not saving the US a penny.

Donald Trump was humiliated yesterday. Make no mistake, a man with such a brittle ego will lash out at innocent people to pretend he controls the narrative. He doesn't. We do.

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

This should be a national debate, not an executive power grab. 📌 The Posse Comitatus Act prevents the president from using the military as a domestic police force.

Banks are aiming to issue cryptocurrency. Lawmakers just put a line in the GENIUS Act saying when a bank issuing crypto goes bankrupt, crypto investors get paid before regular depositors. In other words: your savings account becomes crypto’s bailout fund. www.levernews.com/cryptos-new-...

I can’t speak for anyone else, but this analogy of “Lady Liberty’ held captive, is exactly how I feel about this presidency & administration and what their attempting to do with our rights and freedoms… The New Yorker captured the feelings perfectly… One word, UNACCEPTABLE!

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

I put much work into this. DOJ is trying to block courts' access to info in #AbregoGarcia and Alien Enemies Act cases by asserting it is a "state secret." I walk through the clear case law on this topic. I provide a Table of senior officials' statements that preclude the state secret privilege.

One of the most significant cases with far-reaching effects, which I've previously flagged to watch. On motion to dismiss, Judge Chutkan finds for plaintiffs on both counts: -Musk's position is in violation of Appointments Clause -DOGE Executive Order is without statutory or constitutional basis

Indeed, and notice a pattern: Judge Xinis May 27: DOJ "expended no effort in demonstrating good cause. ... These self-described burdens are of their own making." Judge Murphy May 26: DOJ "have mischaracterized this Court’s order, while at the same time manufacturing the very chaos they decry."

One in four workers in the US is now “functionally unemployed,” meaning they either want but can’t find full-time work or are stuck in poverty-paycheck jobs. A higher minimum wage alone can't solve this because it would increase automation and decrease hours. We need a universal basic income floor.

My goal has been to make Illinois the best state to raise a family — that starts with kids having access to what they need so they can focus on learning and growing. Illinois was among the first states to implement SUN Bucks, and this year is no exception.

You're not serious about health if you're only talking about universal healthcare and not also talking about universal basic income too. We need both, or else medical care ends up largely treating the impacts of not having universal basic income.

Under the bill passed by the House, those in the US earning LESS than $17,000 will LOSE $1,000 a year, the top 0.1 per cent of taxpayers will gain nearly $400,000 a year. How sick is that? And 8.6 million people will lose their Medicaid coverage. This is like a death sentence for many.
